The first cake featured in the Reddit post is a delectable treat that recreates the distinctive face of Fortnite's Fishstick skin, a legendary fish mascot. With the cake's coloring being adorned with Fishstick's iconic orange hues and featuring other details like chocolates and marshmallows forming its eyes, it is clear that u/barry-d-benson2 paid attention to small details.
The second cake recreates one of the most missed Fortnite elements: a Supply Drop. With its iconic blue and yellow color scheme, the cake perfectly represents the helpful loot-filled crates. With a yellow balloon being attached to it to simulate the V-Bucks balloon that descending Supply Drops have, the design proves the intricate planning involved in its making.
